Tyler Wade and Wesley Thorp tied the world record for the fastest team roping run in history with a 3.3 in Round 8 of the 2023 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, but this isn’t the first time either of them have been 3.3 in competition.
Chad Masters and Jade Corkill recorded the first 3.3 at the NFR, but since then, more than just a few guys have gone that fast (or faster, depending on who you ask and how you count these things). We know scores and flaggers vary, but, in the interest of being inclusive and thorough, here’s the list we came up with.
Did we miss one? THAT’S COMPLETELY POSSIBLE! Remind us, please, in the comments on Facebook or Instagram.
3.3 | 2009 | Chad Masters and Jade Corkill in Round 9 of the NFR
3.3 | 2012 | Brock Hanson and Ryan Motes in Nacogdoches, Texas
3.1 | 2015 | Clay Smith and Jim Ross Cooper at The Gambler
They were 3.1 on two of the greatest horses of all time: Marty and Jackyl.
